Illustrated example of climax

Boko's parents discovered shortly after he graduated from high school that his first day of

classes coincided with his last graduation. He received pocket money, school fees, and other

benefits during this time. He did not attend school and lived with his mates in a leased flat.

He learnt how to smoke and drink from his companions. Typically, they visit bars, partake

in various criminal activities, consume alcohol, and smoke. Boko was badly impacted by this;

his language became harsh and vulgar, and his thinking became warped. Following this, his

friends forced him to start selling cocaine. The parents were completely unaware of all of

this.

Boko feigned illness on the day of the graduation and made arrangements with the physician

to be admitted to the hospital, so he was unable to attend. He was admitted to the hospital

for two weeks before returning home. The parents recognised that their only son's attitude

wasn't    typical   at    this   point.    His    language    is    coarse    and     abrasive.

After a month, Boko was taken into custody by the police and returned to his parents for

drug possession.

Resolution of events in a story

This part of the story is where the events or the problems created in the story are given

attention to be solved. There should be evident plans to solve the problem in the story, either

ending up victorious or failing. Therefore, the tone of the story must be low to show the fall

of the event. At this point, it can be both the main and the opposing characters in the story

resolving their differences.
